Aren't we the one and only winners of the Algarve Cup?

I saw us play in the Algarve Cup a few years ago (I think it was the pre-season after the FA Cup final) whilst I was on holiday and we beat Celtic to win the trophy with Ledley scoring the winner.

I'm pretty sure that was the first and last time the tournament took place but perhaps someone can confirm or put me right?
